Those eight Cy Young pitchers have a combined 8.21 ERA and 1.87 WHIP against the Tribe in 2013.

A closer look at the victims:

April 2: R.A. Dickey (2012 winner): 6 IP, 3 ER, 5 hits, 4 BB

April 7: David Price (2012): 5 IP, 8 ER, 10 hits, 3 BB

April 14: Jake Peavy (2007): 7 IP, 1 ER, 5 hits, 0 BB

April 30: Roy Halladay (2003, 2010): 3.2 IP, 8 ER, 9 hits, 2 BB

May 1: Cliff Lee (2008): 6 IP, 4 ER, 9 hits, 2 BB

May 9: Bartolo Colon (2005): 4 IP, 6 ER, 8 hits, 0 BB

May 11: Justin Verlander (2011): 5 IP, 3 ER, 6 hits, 5 BB

May 19: Felix Hernandez (2010): 5 IP, 5 ER, 8 hits, 2 BB

Perhaps equally impressive are the efforts of Justin Masterson, who improved to 3-0 against Cy Young winners this season. He beat Dickey and Price in April before defeating Hernandez on Sunday.

The next Cy Young winner to take on the Indians is Verlander, who is scheduled to start at Cleveland on Wednesday.

The Indians enter Monday two games ahead of the Tigers in the AL Central. They face the Mariners at 12:05 ET. Preview

In Sporting News' preseason predictions, Hernandez and Price were among pitchers expected to be in the 2013 Cy Young conversation. And with Terry Francona taking over as manager, the Indians were picked to finish second to the Tigers in the Central.
